Sid Meier's Civilization series is one of the most renown turn-based nation-building sims on the PC, but the next title in the franchise won't be going to the platform of its roots. Instead, the latest game, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, will be hitting up the PlayStation 3 and other systems. If you want to play the next Civ game it's time to get a PS3; you'll have to get one soon because Civilization Revolution is expected to make its way to retailers by June 3, 2008.
It's not the first time for a Civilization game to make the crossover to the console arena, but Civilization Revolution is the first to be made solely for it. Firaxis built the game from scratch, and have given the control schemes a streamlined interface in order to make Civilization Revolution more console-friendly.
For those unfamiliar with the Civilization series, the goal of each game is to choose a civilization, build it up, and eventually conquer the world either through brutal warfare or cultural influence. To see how it all actually goes down, check out the new screenshots down below.

This game looks like it's going to be even better than the original. This is a must buy for me. It will get a lot of playtime with me and my wife.

Heheh.

American Empire? Watch out for the empire destroying disasters in the game like Volcano Eruption, Tsunami, asteroid collision and George Bush election victory :)

I guess I am the only one who thinks the pictures are all zoomed in to far?
I hope that is variable, and they allow for Keyboard/Mouse... although I guess I could just play the PC version.
